Hello,

i have a classic Mac Pro 3,1 running on 10.14.5 via dosdudes Mojave Patcher and a Sapphire Radeon RX 580 8GB.

Some People say it is impossible to install the GPU on that Machine because of the lack of SSE4.2 instructions.

But i have seen proof of concept that it works.

You need a fixed metal driver from netkas and somehow sign it or use DisableLibraryValidation.

Also, there is some beta kext or something made by a forum member from macrumors that can make all the magic happen on 10.14.6.

The Problem is, after i spend a whole day and night trying to make it run, i failed.

Can someone please give me detailed instructions on how to make it work?

I‘m a newbie in „modding“ macOS and i really need your help.

I also could not extract the patched metal driver from netkas (bz2-file). Every archiver throws an error when attempting to extract it.

Things that i found so far:
